RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO FORM PARKWAYS MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 10 FOR
MAINTENANCE OF LANDSCAPED PARKWAYS FOR "MOUNTAIN GATE" TRACT 30963
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council approve a preliminary Engineer's Report regarding estimated annual
maintenance costs for off-site landscaped parkways and approve a Resolution of Intention, setting
the date for Public Hearing for July 16, 2003 to establish Parkways Maintenance District No. 10 for
a new 308 home subdivision at Highway 111 &Gateway Drive called"Mountain Gate"Tract 30963.
The development is by Century Crowell Communities (Century Vintage Homes). This formation is
being done under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 & Proposition 218 legal procedures.
SUMMARY:
Century Vintage Homes,the property owner, has submitted a written request and a signed petition
to form the referenced parkways maintenance district for Tract 30963. This will enable the annual
maintenance costs of the landscaped parkways to be placed on the Riverside County Tax
Assessors assessment rolls for fiscal year2003/04 and on-going future years for the 308 proposed
single family homes within proposed Parkways Maintenance District No. 10 (PMD#10).
BACKGROUND:
On February 26, 2003 the City Council approved the Planned Development District (PDD) for
"Mountain Gate"Tract 30963 for a 308 unit single family home subdivision located at the northeast
corner of Highway 111 &Gateway Drive. The developer is Century Crowell Communities (Century
Vintage Homes) based in San Bernardino. The, principals of Century have signed a petition
requesting the proposed Parkways District#10 formation referenced above. The project will be
built in fourteen phases on 83 acres over a period of 2 years or less, but the off-site parkways
landscaping will be installed in the first year of construction.
The proposed landscaping will include: palm trees,turfed areas with mow strips, desert indigenous
trees & ground cover, annual flowers, a sprinkler irrigation & emitter drip system, walkways, and
retention basin at the following locations: Highway 111; Two entryway gates at 1. Gateway Drive
entry&2. Tramview Rd. entry; Hwy. 111 Retention Basin; end of street landscape at: Pamela Dr.;
Video Rd.; Lawrence Circle; Alberto Cir.; Jiminez Circle. The developer will install the referenced
landscaped parkways and gated entrys, including the irrigation system and all related landscape
&streetscape work at their own expense and the on-going maintenance costs will be placed on the
tax rolls to be paid annually by the property owners within the tract.
The firm proposed to maintain the landscaping will be"Pac West Land Care, Inc.", which currently
maintains all of the City's other parkways maintenance districts, as well as the Tahquitz Creek and
Muni Golf Courses, City Hall, City Facilities and City parks and center medians.
On April 2,2003 City Council approved the hiring of Albert A.Webb Associates as the Assessment
Engineer for the project and in June, 2003 City Council is scheduled to approve the formation of
another special district (under the 1913/1915 Acts) to cover the construction of streets, sewer,
storm drains, water and other public improvements associated with Tract 30963.
PMD No. 10 will include an annual "Consumers Price All Items Index" (All Urban Consumers)
automatic adjustment based on the greater Los Angeles- Riverside- Orange Counties regional
Consumers Price Index(CPI)to cover expected annual inflationary increases for labor, materials,
464
PMD#10 Mountain Gate Tract 30963-page 2
water usage and SCE energy cost increases anticipated over future years. The Engineer's Report
for PMD#10 is on file in the City Clerk's office.
On July 16, 2003 City Council will hold a Public Hearing and consider approval of the following:
1. Sufficiency of Petition (100% participation - current land owner- Century Vintage Homes)
2. Final Engineer's Report approved by City Engineer
2. Resolution approving Final Engineer's Report, ordering improvements forming PMD#10
The developer previously deposited$10,000 with the City to cover the City's formation costs forthe
proposed 1913/1915 Acts District and new Parkways Maintenance District#10. Those funds have
been established in account number 261-4492-43200, which will be used as the expenditure
account for this initial formation phase of the two proposed districts.
This proposed parkways maintenance district is being formed underthe"Landscaping and Lighting
Act of 1972" (Division 15, Part 2 of the California Streets and Highways Code) and Article X111 D,
Section 4, of the California Constitution (Proposition 218).
There is no cost to the City for this maintenance district since all costs are either paid for by the
developer or assessed to the property owners on the annual assessors tax rolls since it can be
determined that all 308 properties within the subdivision can receive special benefit from the
proposed landscaped parkways.
